Gloved Touch

A Stobotnik Fanzine

Forms close in

    Gloved Touch is an unofficial for-charity fanzine celebrating the canon dynamic and undeniable (subtle or not-so-subtle) love between Dr. Ivo Robotnik and Agent Stone across all three Sonic movie adaptations. This zine explores their evolving relationship through every latte, side-glance and chaotic spectacle, with a focus on heart, humor and unhinged devotion.
    ✦
    Split into three chapters to honor each film, the main zine will be joined by a smaller, digital NSFW companion, called Ungloved Touch, for those craving even more. Contributions will be balanced across all movies, with room for participants to bring their favorite moments to life. Expect angst, longing, ridiculous plans and a finale that goes out with a bang :'D

    ✦ What is a Zine?
    A zine is an independently created, often fan-made magazine or publication that features a collection of art, writing and other creative works centered around a specific theme or interest. It can be handmade or professionally printed, digital or physical and is typically made by and for fans.    ✦ What happens to the money made from the sales?
    All profits after contributor compensation will be donated to charity. The charity will be announced publicly when decided on.    ✦ Is this a physical or digital zine?
    Both! The main zine will be physical and digital. The NSFW add-on will be digital-only.    ✦ What will merch include?
    TBD based on interest check! Likely options: stickers, charms, prints, etc.    ✦ Do I need zine experience to apply as a contributor?
    Not at all! We judge based on your submitted work only.    ✦ Is the zine open to all ages?
    No, it’s only for contributors who are 18 or older. Everyone applying must confirm their age on the application form.    ✦ Can I submit comics?
    Absolutely! You’re welcome to apply as a comic artist.    ✦ What kind of art styles are allowed?
    Any style (digital or traditional) as long as you can provide a 300+ DPI file/high-resolution scan.    ✦ Can I include AUs?
    This is a canon-focused zine, so no full AUs. However, speculative or missing-scene content is welcome.    ✦ Is NSFW content allowed?
    Yes, only in the digital NSFW add-on. All characters must be aged appropriately.    ✦ Can I apply for both SFW and NSFW zines?
    Yes! As long as you can manage the workload when you’re accepted into both.    ✦ Can I post my work before the zine releases?
    No, please wait until you're given permission before posting or monetizing your work.
